here's one. i want another tattoo. of what? i have no idea. i've designed the two i have, and had the designs sitting around for 4 years each before i got the tattoo. and i havent been on the creative side of tattoo's for quite some time…and now i'm looking thru them, and they dont look original enough, or i cant think of where i'd put the ones i do like…ianno. maybe if i had my music and a pencil and some paper. hell, then i could get my comic done, and maybe some tattoo's as a side effect.

where was i going with this?

I got a really crummy haircut the other day -_- It seems like everytime i let a guy stylist do my hair he either completely ignores what i said(keep the length you faggot) or is just crappy at cutting anything but guys hair.
Whatever i guess it'll grow back, i'm wondering if i should call and complain…eh.

On the bright side i came up with an excellent idea for a new comic, one that's easy to fill in too. It's a fantasy, but not really.

Wow. I can't even remember the last time I had a haircut. I think it's been almost a year now?

Posted at 10:01AM, Jan. 21, 2009

Call and complain about the crummy haircut. Maybe you'll get a free one out of it.

The first and last haircut I paid for was the week before I moved away to college. I have no idea how I was coerced into doing that, but it definitely couldn't have been my idea. The results? When my hair was wet, I totally had a mullet; when it was dry, I closely resembled Jon Bon Jovi circa 1996. Very unfortunate.

I have a job interview Friday. It's been so long since I've gotten one of those… It's a job I really want too. Part time, not the best pay (twice as much as my previous job), but it's in a natural history museum as an educator – which is the kind of position I've always wanted.

I'm just hoping I haven't been so worn away by all my recent failures that I get a defeatist attitude and blow the whole thing…

EDIT

There was a scheduling conflict (there's not mine), so the interview is Tuesday now. More time to prepare (or work myself into a panic).

Just relax, go in with the attitude that you want it and are going to get it so you're confident and just show them what you know.

I dunked my flash drive in the toilet by accident along with my my keys and now every time I try to save anything or copy anything off of it it tells me it's write protected. I don't know what the heck that means. Anybody here know how I can fix it?

You could leave it on radiator for a while, or see if you can open it up and drain it. I've used both methods and the results ranged from great to making it much worse.

It'd probably be an even better idea to just buy a new one.

Good luck! I would think that in a position for museum educator it would be a bonus to come off as really personable. In those types of interviews it's always been my personal goal to make the interviewer laugh.

It's already dried out though. I can plug it in and open up files just fine, but I can't change them or save anything to it.

Ahhhh, I just fell for a screamer on youtube and it's 12am I'm alone, in the dark, and those things creep the fuck outta me.

Can you copy the files to the hard drive and then just reformat the flash drive?

I've been trying that. I just can't quite figure out how to reformat the stupid thing. it used to be something I could do by right clicking with XP and I can't find the option in vista. But at least I've got my files and I'm thinking I might just end up buying a new one. It's kind of falling apart and they're not that expensive anyway.

Posted at 10:01PM, Jan. 21, 2009

In Vista, you can do it by right clicking. The option to format should be just above the options to "Eject" and "Safely Remove". :)
I'm not sure which file system is best to format Flash drives… probably Fat 32.

Ugh. I've been taking exams at school for the past two days, and today is our last exams. Just Biology (had to retake a semester, due to me not doing ANYTHING), and then ELA.

I'm confident I'll pass both. I just need to go find out what my other exam scores are, since I didn't already do that like, yesterday.

Yesterday was a really lazy day for me, I did just about nothing on the comic. The only thing I really did was start the logo for my new layout. It's not going to be anything super fancy, I just want somethin new.

Also, I have tomorrow off from school, and today is a half day, so I suppose I have no room to complain about school this week, lmao.

Which reminds me, I totally need to do the Page layouts for Pages 17-33, since I'm stupid and didn't do them before. And after that, I'll finish up the rest of the pencils, and after THAT, I can finally ink and finish them. And then I can relax for about a week or so, and then get into Chapter 2.

I think I'll post two pages a week like, every other week when I finish this chapter. Who knows.

Man, I have some weird dreams. I hate it when they're "musicals"- who the hell has dreams in the form of musicals? The songs even rhyme.
One number I particularly recall was a satyric song called "I want to be thin". For some reason it started off with all these 1960's-style women singing about how they wanted new bras, and got weirder from there- with all these women singing about how being skinny was more important that anything else. One of the women obviously had throat cancer. It was scary.
The end of the dream featured Richard Belzer on life support, in some kind of weird death scene/ assisted suicide involving the lead actress in the "I want to be thin" montage. But in the end, it's okay, because he'd faked his death.
There was also something to do with a guy who raised ants, and a bunch of creepy stuff.

W.T.F.!?!?

Last day of first semester today, blargh. First semester was incredibly easy and I'm not looking forward to actually having to work.

Also, I keep making funny faces in the mirror and making myself laugh out loud.

Apparently write protection means you can't reformat the damn thing even.

I'm just going to buy a new one.
